THE AFGHAN Rebellion.

The Situation Full of Danger, Though the

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
LONDON. May 28.-Reports from Afghanistan
not reassuring. Rumors which are tele-
graphed blink at the possible dangers of the sit
uation. The present Ameer is considered by
large number of his subjects a usurper under
the protection of an unpopular power Great
Brittany. He holds his own by force rather
than by consent, and if he loses ground
in the struggle with the Ghilzais
his weakness may provoke general
rebellion. The rumors at present ara in favor

making little progress, and that his men are de-
sorting. The further rumors that the Russians
are bridging the Oxus is probably evolved from
the inner consciousness of some of the natives.

the rebellion assume formidable dimensions
Russia may ultimately interfere, as she has done

foreign faint, constitutes irresistible call
on the GhilZais to revolt against Abdurrahman
who, in their view. is usurpiDg the place of
Yakub Khan. 1t is only too probable that the
view CT the Ghilzais finds vast amount of sym

situation is threatening. and it arises directly
